Around 3500 points. Doesn't matter, try games.

i have a duron 1hgz and a aiw 9600 pro and i get 4000 so i pritty sure you with ur xp 2400 will get alot more than my score

If it's a Pro card....not mentioned.

Besides, in 3dMark03 the rest of the hardware doesn't make much of a difference.

I believe Aces Hardware proved this...don't remember the exact link though.

i had a 9600pro with a 2.4ghz p4 and got to the hights of 9500 or so points. but its not easy to say what the score would be for such a drop in cpu speed.

besides i think 3dm2k1 tests graphics card more than the actual system.


then i got something around 2500 - 3000 for 3dm2k3.

Best thing you can do is submit your score to futuremark and do a compare........that should give you a really good idea where your card stands. After you submit your score....click on...."project search and compare" on the left side. When you get on that screen make sure that you click on the link at the bottom, " Match your active 3DMark03 project (exact CPU & GPU speed) " Then click "show me the projects"

I gave the instructions just incase you weren't very familiar with using the site. Let us know what your results are

If you tweak your system to max.. without overclocking... and lets say i figure you have a 9600 NP 128mb

3Dmark2001se (build 340) you should be able to push 8000 3dmarks easy and most likely 9000 would be around what you should expect

3Dmark03 however... you looking at 2250 to 2500 ish

Pro or XT.... it's hard to say for sure

I think a pro or xt should be able to hit:
3Dmark2001se : 10,000-12,000 Very easily... 13,000 at best preformance
3Dmark03: 3000-3500 ..and just maybe 4000

OK... i'm going to give you some direct compare links... however... consider that i have 1024mb of ram... my barton 2500+ overclocked to 3000+ and my Radeon 9600 np 128mb (built by ati) is 400/250

that's for 3Dmark03 though

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=1769505 (3051 3Dmarks)

On default Radeon clocks... (325/200) i would get 2500 points (my barton and whatnot still oced)..

also consider that 3Dmark03 doesn't rely much on your CPU or ram... (enless agp to memory transfers are kicking in) let alone your hardrives...... i'm underclocked my barton 1100mhz.. with a very similare results..... it's Pure GRAHPICS only

3Dmark2001se however benifits from every little bit.... even hardrive preformance... so considering that i'm running raid... it only helps a bit...

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=7359815 (10,590 3DMarks) this is my similare overclocks and serious tweakage

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=7139238 (8919 3Dmarks) this is without the Radeon not being oced....


If you want... just say it.. i'll put my machine to defaults or try to get them to be as similare as yours... and run the test again....

My system is listed in my sig. I have the Built by ATi 9600 Pro 128 card.

I'm running this card at: 486Core/351 Memory. I'm also overclocking my CPU (P4 1.6 @ 1.78 Ghz)

In 3DMark2K1 I consistently get over 9000 points. My latest is about 9771.

In 3DMark2K3, I just now ran that one using the latest CAT 4.1 drivers and have scored my highest score to date: 3663

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=1923216

When you go to FutureMark and setup a Project Manager account, you'll have the option of comparing with other systems and you can adjust the parameters to match your own system very closely. I highly advise you to do that. There's no way, for instance, that your system is going to come near what faster, higher end systems are going to do. Also, the overclocking makes a nice difference in scores as well.

EDIT: When comparing my own system with similar systems I currently have the 6th highest score on 3DMark2K3. Not bad, not bad at all.
